Hi Missy - Welcome to The Right Blue. It's always nice to 'meet' another shark lover.

I delivered 4 babies from a dead mummy shark when in Cornwall when I was young. Started off my passion for sharks and their conservation.

Hi Neva - Thanks. Swimming with most kinds of sharks is not particularly dangerous. They go about their business, and we go about ours, keeping in mind not to do things that would provoke them.

@ Bernie - Thank you. Glad you liked the article and the pics.

@ Kathy - I really did feel sorry for the poor mama shark, too.

She does look rather uncomfortable - poor thing!

@ Vixen - It was a lucky shot. I couldn't have planned it.

I have never seen a pregnant shark, until now. Thanks! What a great place and how great you were able to get that shot!

@ Sand - Thank you. Hmm. That would have been a pretty big lunch!

@ P. Chew - Yes, some shark species reproduce with eggs. They do not look like bird eggs, though. The embryo is in an egg case that looks like a small sack.

How did we feel with so many sharks about? Photographer's delight!

@ 2Sweet - Thank you. Part of our mission here is to show things from the ocean that most people never have a chance to see for themselves.

Not knowing much about sharks, I'm glad you showed the not pregnant shark for comparison. Amazing photos as usual!

Hi Pua, I find it very interesting and educational. I have seen shark giving birth to live baby shark in the tv, but don't know that shark lays eggs too. How was your feeling when you saw so many sharks around you?

2008-05-20T03:03:00.000-10:00

Great shots, if you reverse the order of the photos it looks like shark before and after lunch! Ha!

Hi Pua - No worries. The baby sharks enter the world well equipped with survival instincts.

I doubt that there are many photos out there with a pregnant shark displayed. Amazing photo, Bobbie!

Not that I wanted to swim around among all these big, medium and small size sharks!

Poor baby sharks - they have to survive on their own without any further 'training'.

Hi Lavender - No, they certainly do not look obesus. I suspect the taxonomic designation has to do with something other than the animal's overall body shape.

I wonder if whoever named this species was examining a pregnant one? They certainly don't look obesus otherwise.
I like your line about the "parked cars".
